The 15 Song Album collection:

Let me explain your concerns, @Kay Pirinha.

These are ENGLISH units!

Whilst I used to be fluent in your Germanic Language, and Mutti always told me off for speaking German.

"Stop saying Ja, you are not a flippin' (She used stronger Langauge) German!"

"Aber, Mutti, I learnt it at Public School!"

No, I have NO IDEA what @nextstep is going on about here, either.

Hope you enjoy the Prog Rock image.
You're absolutely correct, system7! But even English units aren't quantities, are they? Do educated English native speakers indeed use both nouns synomously?

Thanks for the pic! Great albums!

Best regards!

Ok, let's reset - theme is 'Reserves' (definitions below)

Reserves...

01 - Leave a Tender Moment Alone - Billy Joel
02 - Tale of a Devil (and a Bar Table) - God of the Basement

a) retain for future use
b) arrange for (a room, seat, ticket, etc.) to be kept for the use of a particular person
c) a supply of a commodity not needed for immediate use but available if required
d) a body of troops withheld from action to reinforce or protect others, or additional to the regular forces and available in an emergency
 
A severely difficult theme, IMO. Wistful to the max. But I'll have a go. Maybe, somebody else has felt this way? :)
